“Making this memo public will almost certainly impede our ability to conduct clandestine activities operating outside any legal or judicial system on an international scale,” said Wray, noting that it was essential that mutual trust exist between the American people and the vast, mysterious cabal given free rein to use any tactics necessary to conduct surveillance on U.S. citizens or subvert religious and political groups.

Rep. Peter King (R-NY), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, doesn't have much patience with Democrat charges that Chairman Nunes secretly made changes to the FISA abuse memo before sending it to the White House. King told Fox News today that Democrats have been changing their arguments against releasing the four-page document every day.

He said the edits were minor and did not affect "the substance or spirit" of the memo.

"The Democrats are just throwing out a totally phony issue out there," he said.

King said he didn't want to "oversell" the memo by characterizing it as a "bombshell," but insisted it is “vital and essential for the public to see.”

Theresa May has become so frightened of putting a foot wrong that she’s now extremely reluctant to confront any controversial issue. This is an exceedingly dangerous position for a Prime Minister. You can’t lead if you can’t make decisions. Her timidity has been exacerbated by the election. Her unusually bold call to go to the country four years early blew up in her face and as a result, she is more cautious than ever — at exactly the time when her country needs her to be most decisive.

The Prime Minister is either unwilling or unable to tackle the single biggest question facing the country: what will the ‘end-state’ relationship with the EU look like? We have barely more detail now than when she delivered her Lancaster House speech more than a year ago. Is this because May doesn’t dare to be specific, as she knows she’ll disappoint — at the very least — one wing of her party? Or because she can’t decide? Tories who complain that civil servants have captured the process are aiming at the wrong target. They are only filling a vacuum where the political leadership ought to be.

The Tories need to engineer an in-house leadership coup pronto, before the #Remain crew manages, through Conservative Party inanition, to overturn the results of the Brexit referendum. Their #Resistance counterparts in America are watching, waiting, and salivating.
